Welcome to the only website devoted
to Road Ghosts - in fact, to a very specific category of ghost - the
Phantom Hitch-Hiker/Spectral Jaywalker. As a web-companion to a
full-length treatment that rigorously examines this global
phenomenon
from the perspective of arguably the world's foremost example (Blue
Bell Hill, England) the contents of this site are necessarily less
than exhaustive. Nevertheless, I hope there is sufficient material
presented here to interest both casual reader and serious
inquirer alike. Many of the cases here, particularly from the
UK, are presented here for the first time.

EDITORIAL

New
visitors - If you are a
new visitor to this site, I recommend starting with the
introductory Walkin' After Midnight,
which will provide a guide to the site's overall content and
theme.

WhileROADGHOSTS.COM
waslaunched originally as a web-companion to my work on the case at Blue Bell Hill,
Kent (UK), the site slowly
developed its own style and content that supports and augments that original work. One of the areas
that fell outside the scope of the book project - and which
can be more properly accommodated here - was a modest accounting of road ghosts from elsewhere in the UK and beyond. I
am therefore pleased to be able to report that this
website is
attracting new and original accounts to add to those already
documented in the literature.

New additions shall be announced on
this page, or can be accessed via the Cases
link here or under Navigation.A relatively new
consideration is to extend the site's scope to acknowledge those
road haunts I have termed 'Other' that are thematically similar,
but which do not accord with the strict Phantom
Hitch-Hiker/Spectral Jaywalker 'script' involving ostensibly human
figures that are this site's chief focus.

With the
continued contribution of readers' own accounts and the
co-operation of like-minded websites and organisations, the aim of
this site is to develop into a detailed region-by-region guide to
the UK's haunted roads, and to collate similar
eyewitness-supported testimonies from across the globe.

The
Ghosts of Blue Bell Hill & other Road Ghosts - available
NOW

Since
the launch of this website in 2001, when there was relatively
little in print or the Internet regarding road phantoms of the
type described in these pages, I have followed with interest the
advances the subject has made into the public consciousness.
This has been achieved through various channels, all assisted by the ready and instant
availability offered by the Internet. Thus today we see Road
Ghosts more widely presented than ever before in the printed media,
on television and on the big screen (for instance in 2003's Dead End,
Gothika
(2004) and the pilot episode of the popular series Supernatural
(2005).

While
I can't begin to take credit for all of the forms exhibited, I have been able to gauge the influence
of this website by the numerous other sites, magazine articles
and books that have appeared since which have made reference to the Blue Bell Hill case
- particularly where they have used material (based on original
research) for which this site has been the only available source.
Where properly used, I have held no objections to
the use of the material presented on these pages, and the recurrent recognition of the
Blue Bell Hill story, even in usually brief and/or distorted
form in other works, has had benefit of both promoting the
subject and of reinforcing my earliest conviction that the full and
complete story of Britain's foremost road ghost is deserving of
a wider audience.

This website has purposely withheld from
presenting more than a taste of the fascinatingly complex - and
poignant - story of Blue Bell Hill's ghost and the real-life
events at its heart - and so I am pleased to be able to
announce that, finally, the full, definitive story is now available. Get your copy here:
